Ease of Integration

With Extio 3’s industry-leading technology, users can leverage existing IT networking equipment and standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure for seamless deployment and operations, extending up to two video signals using a single copper or fiber optic cable to reduce installation costs. Matrox N3208 KVM extenders fit readily into certified systems with plug and play deployment; there is no need to install additional software. Extio 3 IP KVM transmitter units are designed to optimize available space, and come either as a rack-mountable appliance or an integrated PCIe® card.

Flexible Operation

Matrox KVM extenders are designed to support evolving needs: whether deployed as point-to-point extenders or as IP KVM, these appliances offer the flexibility to adapt installations as demands change. Extio N3208 extenders support one-to-one, many-to-one, or many-to-many configurations to drive connectivity needs. With the power to create flexible,scalable and secure KVM matrix-routing using standard network switches, the Extio 3 helps future proof investments; installations can be expanded with confidence and without costly upgrades.

Optimized Collaboration

The networked capabilities of Extio 3 support multi-source data sharing by routing the system to any user station from a centralized location. Simultaneous system access from multiple user stations works to optimize collaboration. Extio N3208 extenders make use of a proxy stream *—a dedicated secondary video signal compatible with virtually all H.264 software and hardware decoders—for recording part of the desktop on a network storage device or sharing a screen with other user stations, video walls, and mobile devices as a means of improving collaboration and faster decision making.

Enhanced KVM Security & Monitoring

Matrox Extio 3 Series safeguards installations by using HTTPs, a secure communication protocol for control commands over the network. Extio 3 encrypts the transmitted AV and USB signals and protects the desktop content. Extio N3208 also easily integrates with Microsoft® Active Directory services * and allows IT managers to use existing Active Directory accounts for user authorization and authentication. Compatible with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Extio 3 devices can be monitored through third-party network management software.
